Hijacking the Timeline

The email contained detailed records of his future self’s efforts to establish an organization to oppose the Scarlet Research Institute, as well as the growth trajectories of Mu Qing and Lin Ran.

Initially, everything seemed to be progressing well. They would meet regularly to share their experiences.

Except for Lin Ran, who remained stubbornly committed to researching art magic, Mu Qing appeared to have undergone a complete transformation.

The expected ”dawn rebels” had evolved into the ”Dawn Domain Battle Group,” dedicated to combating Domain Invasions.

Through repeated battles against Domain Invasions, Mu Qing rapidly grew in strength, recruiting a large number of powerful individuals to join the Dawn Battle Group in a remarkably short time.

These recruits willingly followed Mu Qing, propelling the Dawn Domain Battle Group into the ranks of the top ten most powerful combat teams.

Under his supervision, Lin Ran had neither abandoned his research into art magic nor switched to studying cultivation arts. He remained the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s most outstanding researcher of art magic.

While everything seemed to be developing positively, the situation began to change in the subsequent email entries.

The later content of the private email made Feng Qi realize that the situation was gradually spiraling out of control.

”Investigating the Scarlet Research Institute has proven exceedingly difficult. Their security measures are airtight. Even with my students’ deep connections, I’ve been unable to access any of their secrets.”

”I’m considering having one of my students take the Scarlet Research Institute’s entrance exam and infiltrate their ranks as an employee.”

”The problem is, none of my students have any interest or expertise in biological sciences. It’s truly frustrating.”

”Recent intelligence has surprised me greatly. Do you remember that list from the Scarlet Research Institute? I tried to protect the geniuses on it from potential assassination attempts, but I discovered that another force was already secretly guarding them.”

”Here’s the situation: I assigned Liu Yue, my most skilled student in combat, to protect the individuals on the list. During his missions, Liu Yue reported encountering mysterious figures who intervened to protect the geniuses during assassination attempts. He even nearly mistook them for assassins and clashed with them.”

”One thing we can confirm is that all the assassins targeting human geniuses are Domain-Transcending Creatures. Their access to the list of human geniuses clearly indicates an inside collaborator, further solidifying my suspicion that the Scarlet Research Institute is secretly colluding with domain creatures.”

”Another perplexing question is: which organization, possessing the list of geniuses, is secretly protecting these potential assassination targets?”

”Compiling a comprehensive list of all the world’s geniuses would require a substantial organization, likely a specialized entity similar to the Scarlet Research Institute. I hope we can establish cooperation with them.”

”I’ve decided to have my student, Jia Yi, begin studying biological sciences. With his exceptional learning abilities and dedicated effort, he should master the field relatively quickly and infiltrate the Scarlet Research Institute.”

”Jia Yi has already passed two rounds of evaluations at the Scarlet Research Institute and is about to infiltrate it to begin his undercover mission. I hope he can gather useful information this time.”

”Today, I received a message from Mo Fei informing me that the technology research institute has made preliminary progress in Spirit Energy Technology research. However, the prototypes are unstable and far from mass production. This is undoubtedly good news.”

”But upon reflection, I haven’t done anything to cause such a significant technological shift. Could it be that Spirit Energy Technology products will emerge 1,500 years from now? It’s a pity I won’t live to see it, but you certainly will.”

”Jia Yi has successfully infiltrated the Scarlet Research Institute. I’m waiting for him to send good news.”

”Ah, Jia Yi’s security clearance at the Scarlet Research Institute is too low; he can’t access any classified information. I dare not risk sending a hidden reconnaissance robot with him—it could endanger him. Safety first. As long as he survives, there’s hope for everything. He’ll just have to climb the ranks slowly.”

”Do you think it’s possible that the Domain-Transcending Creatures have infiltrated not just the Scarlet Research Institute, but also many other similar organizations? If that’s true, the thought alone sends chills down my spine.”

”Good news! The Scarlet Research Institute has recently designated an area outside Star City as a new experimental base. Some equipment has already been moved there, and more is scheduled to be transported soon. Security measures are still in the planning stages, so I think we should seize this opportunity to cause some major disruption.”

”This is strange. Before we even launched our operation, the Scarlet Research Institute’s external base suddenly exploded, killing everyone inside. It’s certainly cause for celebration, but something about this feels off.”

”Jia Yi’s message: the Scarlet Research Institute is making a major move. They’ve decided to restart the rune augment project, establishing a new facility just outside Winterfrost City.”

”Holy hell, did you hear what happened? The Scarlet Research Institute’s newly built base outside Winterfrost City was attacked again! A massive explosion wiped out everyone inside—no survivors!”

”I’m now seriously suspecting there’s another organization targeting the Scarlet Research Institute. This group is likely the same one secretly protecting human geniuses. But what puzzles me is how they obtained the exact same intelligence as I did???”

”At first, I suspected Mu Qing, but I’ve never shared any related information with her. When I questioned her later, she seemed genuinely confused and asked me what had happened. It’s clear she had nothing to do with it.”

”No, I need to investigate which organization shares my goals. Perhaps we could unite against the Scarlet Research Institute (red marker).”

”I might be finished!”

”I’m currently under investigation by the Star City Garrison. They suspect me of secretly plotting a rebellion, but thankfully, things are still under control. Old Wang, Lin Ran, Mu Qing, and others vouched for me, and I’m out again!”

”Something’s wrong. Liu Yue, who was protecting human geniuses outside the city, has been arrested, also accused of secretly plotting a rebellion!”

”After Liu Yue’s arrest, organization member Yang Xiaoxin was also arrested, on the same charges.”

”Our secret operations are known only to internal members. How could they have been leaked?”

”I was interrogated again today, and the situation has become extremely unfavorable for us. Every message I send now might be my last. Before that happens, I must uncover the truth: how are our operations being leaked every time?”

”After analyzing the situation, I’ve confirmed one thing: all our problems began when we started investigating which organization was secretly opposing the Scarlet Research Institute. Since then, the organization has faced a series of targeted attacks, but I still don’t understand why they’re targeting us.”

”The Star City Garrison is on their way to arrest me. Public opinion has already branded me a traitor. I thought I had planned every step carefully, but I still failed. If I’m not mistaken, the organization has already been infiltrated.”

”I no longer have time to investigate who the mole is, but you must be careful. Among the eleven members of Combat Class 3, one of them may have been a member of that mysterious organization even before enrolling. When you return, never reveal your thoughts easily.”

The last line was marked in red.
